These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jeannina Ruiz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jeannina is warm and compassionate but challenges me when appropriate. She has been very kind and empathetic and has helped me work through several issues in just a short amount of time.
